Potassium and Firdapse drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Potassium (potassium) and Firdapse (amifampridine). Common drug interactions include deep vein thrombosis among females and pneumonia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Potassium and Firdapse. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 55 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
